The webinar entitled 'Minimising noise and vibration on Crossrail with innovative heavyweight concrete' is a free to join event, hosted by the Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE). It will run from 12:30 – 13:30 GMT and will provide a thorough technical insight into the section of the C610 project, where high density concrete was used to overcome challenges with sound and vibration.

About the project

Crossrail Ltd is delivering the Elizabeth line, an additional London Underground service which is due to open from 2018. The new railway will see 42km of tunnels adding additional capacity to the city network.

In sensitive sections of the tunnel network, noise and vibration impacts from the operating railway had to be minimised. The solution was a high density floating track slab (FTS), produced using MagnaDense concrete with a density of 3.6 t/m3.
